Charles Macaskill

Associate Professor Charles Macaskill is affiliated with the Faculty of Science at the University of Sydney. His research focuses on mathematical and computational modeling in biomedical systems, particularly lymphatic muscle physiology, fluid dynamics in embryonic tissues, and cardiovascular-related phenomena. He collaborates internationally, as evidenced by grants from the NIH and ARC.

Key research interests include lymphatic pacemaking mechanisms, atherosclerotic plaque dynamics, and the biophysical underpinnings of cellular signaling pathways. His work bridges theoretical models with experimental data, addressing clinical conditions like lymphedema and cardiovascular disorders.

Recent publications emphasize lymphatic valve formation, ion channel effects on muscle cell behavior, and fluid dynamics in developmental systems. He has secured significant grants for projects such as 'Lymphatic pacemaking and pumping in lymphedema' and 'Dynamics of atherosclerotic plaque formation'.
